Packing the Contract: Adding Unwanted Options and Accessories

Today, more and more dealerships “pack” a contract with add-ons such as service contracts, warranties, options and accessories that you did not ask for. Some of the most common add-ons are “protection packages” and rust-proofing. Remember, that this is simply another way for the dealer to make profit and scam you.

How to avoid this dealer fraud:
• Never sign the contract until you read it carefully and make sure there are no items you did not authorize.
• If the dealer told you there are you were told you something was included for “free”, check to see that the item is in the contract and that you were not charged for it.
• If there is anything included in the contact that you don’t want, simply tell the salesman that you will not pay for it. Put a line through the item in the contract and reduce the Total Sale Price by that amount.
